Virtual packages are flagged as unused #231

@pascalheidmann

Description

@pascalheidmann

The tool flags virtual packages as unused dependency although they do not contain any code and therefore cannot be used anyway.
While this is not important in a regular project in libraries you often want to be able to tell the user that they have to add an implementation for a psr standard but (as it is a standard) you don't care which one.

Examples for virtual packages:

  • psr/http-client-implementation
  • psr/cache-implementation
  • psr/log-implementation

Therefore the composer dependency analyser tool should be able to ignore these virtual packages.
